under a set conforming site. The home, a 1950's initial construction, been modified on several occasions, but was initially constructed with the "standard single stall garage of that era. Since the initial construction, family need has given rise to greater storage needs, especially in situations where more than one family member drives a vehicle. The existing attached single stall at 16 feet wide by 22 feet deep and located 5 feet from the side (north) prope11y line, cannot be properly expanded to create even a modest two stall attached garage. The garage was constructed at a greater setback than required by the Code, 45 feet versus 30 feet. However, constructing even the modest garage on to the front of the existing garage cannot meet the required setback. The Staff has determined that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. 5.11 The variance, if eranted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The placement of a detached accessory building 23 feet from the front property line is unique to the neighborhood, but will be architecturally designed to complement the existing home. The structure will not create an adverse impact on adjacent properties, or the adjacent neighborhood. The Staff has determined that the allowance of a VARIANCE to Section 1004.01A6 and 1004.016 of the Roseville City Code will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 The Staff recommends approval of a 315 sq. ft. VARIANCE to Section 1004.01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area) and a 7 foot VARIANCE to Section 1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements - Front Yard Setback) of the Roseville City Code to allow the construction of a 462 sq. ft. attached garage 23 feet from the front property line adjacent to Fernwood Street, based on the findings in Section 5 and the following conditions: a. The attached garage shall be set back a minimum of 23 feet from the front yard propeI1y line adjacent to Fernwood Street. b. The attached garage shall be limited to a width of 21 feet, a depth of 22 feet and a size not to exceed 462 sq. ft. c. Impervious coverage for the parcel be limited to 3,540 square feet. d. The structure shall be used for vehicle and personal storage needs. The structure shall not be used as a home occupation or commercial business. e.
